London Fashion Week

London Fashion Week

We are getting ready to head back to Paris for Ready to Wear fashion week... so exciting! While mentally preparing outfits to pack in our bags, we decided to look around to see what the stars were wearing. Typically I like to see what colors and patterns they are combining to get ideas for outfits of my own. Of course my style may be nothing like theirs, but I like to see fashion as an art and way of expressing yourself, so why not look elsewhere for inspiration!

Take a look at Who What Wear for what the celebs wore to London Fashion Week... happy fashion week!

French Recipe Friday

French Recipe Friday


Today we will be featuring how to make a French omelette. If you have ever been to Paris, or France in general you will notice that they eat their omelettes much "wetter" for lack of a better word, that we do in the States. Personally I prefer them this way as they are much fluffier, fresher, and taste so much better! Check out today's quick and easy video on how make them for yourself. Yum! Enjoy!

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

Gluten Free in Paris

Gluten Free in Paris

I recently discovered that I am allergic to Gluten... drat! After over 20 years of daily headaches and stomach aches, we finally figured out that they were caused by a gluten sensitivity. I am no doctor, so I won't bore you with the effects of gluten, what exactly this all entails, what I can and can not eat... BUT for those of you who are right there with me and know exactly what this means I have GREAT news!

Traveling and having to avoid gluten is a real pain in the... you know what! Especially in Paris... let's just say, restaurants don't work the same there as they do here. What you see on the menu is what you get... that's it... no changes, no substitutions, nothing! So for those of you like me who try to avoid gluten so you don't end up curled up in a ball from stomach pains, here's a small solution!

More and more restaurants are offering gluten free options and stores are selling gluten free products... EVEN in Paris! Check out this link for more information and PLEASE feel free to share any other places that you may know! Cheers to Gluten Free... ehhh
